The Trojan Horse Game Led to an Endless Cycle of Reincarnation

A boy named Riley and his friends are lured to a sinister little town called Carousel, where horror movies become reality. Riley thinks he's out of luck because he's been assigned the movie buff archetype, a supporting character who tends to die early in films. At first, he believes he'll have to die over and over, but then he discovers a way to survive. He gains the "Oblivious Bystander" trope: as long as he pretends not to notice the monsters and killers, they won't hurt him. At first, this ability seems like a joke, but Riley thinks that if he uses it cleverly, it could become his greatest advantage.
